After conducting appropriate
negotiations and due diligence, we
should move to purchase the
portfolio at a 75% discount to it’s
face value.
We should leverage our lein against
the borrowers equity and our
capacity to limit investor losses to
convert out mezzanine loans to a
proprietary interest in the properties
We should renovate all three
properties to maintain the Class A
classification of the properties.
We are pursuing a minimum multiple
on equity of 2.5x.
Our model indicates that the portfolio
will return a levered IRR of 22.28% and
a levered equity multiple of 4.11x
This exceeds the needs of Sun Rock
Capital’s fund.

• This limits our exposure to
localised disaster and regional
economic volatility

The global financial crisis has forced us to target a minimum MOI of 2.5x
• 67% of used capital has been
deployed to purchase equity
• Current market conditions imply
that a weighting towards equity is
best practice

We believe the fundamental geographic characteristics of the West Loop submarket will drive intrinsic demand growth. A comparison of
satellite imagery shows that the developmental boundaries of Chicago have expanded 200-300% over the past 25 years. This city growth is a
strong driver of demand for centralised real estate assets.

LA economic activity, are at
2003 levels
• Commercial yields have fallen by
over 2% over the past two years
• There has been a substantial

as the CRE equivalent of the price/earnings ratio in the stock market (see Campbell and Shiller 1988 for
the pricing implications of these valuation measures). According to theory, this rent/price ratio is largely
a function of interest rates and expected increases in the property’s price. Consider someone who wants
to use a real estate property for one year. This person can get the space in two ways. He or she could rent
the property for the year, which would cost a year of rent. The rent would appear as part of the property
owner’s net operating income. Alternatively, the person who wants to use the property could borrow
money, buy it, and hold it for a year. The cost of this ownership option, referred to as the user cost,
consists of interest payments on the purchase loan plus the expected change in the property’s price over
the holding period. In a well-functioning market with zero transactions costs, the price of these two
alternatives should be the same. If they were not—if rents were higher than the user cost, for example—
then all market participants would want to buy, bidding up prices until the rental option cost the same.
The important point here is the direct link between the net operating income of the rental option and
prices, ownership costs, and expected capital gains of the ownership option. When purchasing CRE,
market participants often link cap rates to expected future rental rates and vacancies. Expected increases
in rent or lower vacancies tend to lower the cap rate. If rents are expected to increase, then the property
has become more valuable and the owner will expect a higher capital gain, which will lead to a lower cap
rate. A similar argument can be made for falling vacancies.
Thus, expected price appreciation is ultimately a reflection of the outlook for fundamentals such as rents
and vacancies. However, there could also be unidentified nonfundamental reasons for changes in
expected price appreciation. For example, investor sentiment may improve and the discount rate applied
to cash flows from a property may fall, thereby lowering the cap rate. Indeed, investor sentiment could
become so exuberant that a bubble could form, in which expected appreciation soared and the cap rate
dropped sharply.
This link between cap rates, interest
rates, and expected price appreciation
is not merely theoretical. Using a
slightly different representation of the
cap rate, Ghysels, Plazzi, and Valkanov
(2007) show that it predicts CRE
returns. In our data we can see these
linkages in Figure 2, which compares
CRE cap rates with the interest paid on
loans to finance CRE transactions. We
focus here on the office market, but
other CRE asset classes have behaved
similarly. Ideally, the interest measure
should be the rate on new CRE loans,
but those are not readily obtainable.
Instead, we use as a proxy for CRE
purchase loans the yield on AAA-rated five-year commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which
finance a large share of CRE transactions.

Negotiations and Due Diligence Questions
Will inter-creditor agreements interfere with either
the purchase of the loan or the Debt-Equity Swap?
What upper-level debt agreements are the
properties subject to?
What senior mortgage covenants and restrictions is
the property subject to?
Is the borrower willing to swap the mezzanine loans
for an equal proprietary interest in the building?
Do the terms of the current capital structure allow
for us to refinance immediately?

23 Performing a debt to equity swap
By nature, mezzanine debt is a more effective vehicle for pursuing loan-to-own strategies
• Mezzanine are more flexible than senior debt
• A debt-equity swap would avoid the borrower
public embarrassment
• Mezzanine debt cause a great deal of anxiety
among borrowers for the following reasons
• Mezzanine Debt commands a higher interest
rate than senior debt, therefore it has a
higher chance of default
• If a borrower defaults on a mezzanine loan,
the lender foreclose on the equity of the
borrower rather than the property
• Estimates of cash flows indicate the borrower will
default on their next interest payment
• This will allow the holder of the mezzanine to
foreclose on the equity of the borrower
• As a result, a default would be catastrophic
for the borrower
• A debt to equity swap would allow the borrower to
avoid this issue

We are targeting a 4.5% fixed interest rate
for senior debt. This is derived from similar
loans at the time, and the competing impact
of low interest rates and poor
macroeconomics
We target a 12% fully amortized structure
for mezzanine loans. This will compensate
investors for the risk they are taking.

Renovation
Rationale
MARKET TRENDS
STRUCTURE
• As value and liquidity returns to the
market, competition will follow
• There will be strong growth in the
number and value of new property
projects
• In order to be competitive in this
environment, we need to keep our
property up to date
CONSUMER TRENDS
STRUCTURE
• At the peak of the market, there will be
a set of consumer demands which will
become standard for Class A
properties
• We must ensure that our properties are
sufficiently equipped to meet the
demands of both tenants in purchasers
in 2018
BUILDING CLASSIFICATION
STRUCTURE
• If we do not ensure sufficient Capex, it
is possible several properties may be
downgraded to Class B
26 Cutler Centre – Creating a luxury entertainment space…
The retail space in the Cutler Centre can be renovated and upgraded to leverage market cycles
We propose upgrading and reconfiguring the
10,000sqft of retail space, with the following
proportions of rental space in mind;
• 40% of rental space dedicated towards
formal luxury dining
– This establishes a convenient platform for
office tenants to use as a meeting and
entertaining space
• 40% of rental space dedicated towards
casual dining
– This leverages the catering needs of office
space tenants
• 20% of rental space dedicated towards a
bar or other licensed facility
– This helps meet the entertainment and
social needs of tenants

Overview: Commercial properties are
sensitive to market conditions.
Due to the post-recession environment,
unemployment rates and US office market
vacancy rates has increased steadily across
the nation.
We believe these factors may impact our
ability to find quality tenants when rents
rollover in 2012.
Overview: Delinquency rates of commercial
real estate loans are rising rapidly and the
market currently holds record levels of
outstanding commercial debt mortgage.
Rent growth and net absorption has also
experienced declines. We believe these
factors proposes a risk of tenants’ default on
lease repayments or loans.
Overview: We believe we will be exposed to
interest rate risks when we refinance our
loans.
Additionally, the presence of Mezzanine
loans on two of the properties, which will lein

CRE Index
• Moodys/REAL commercial property price index
• (CPPI) is based on actual repeat sales of a
large sample of CRE properties
• Transaction-based index (TBI) also uses sales
prices, but employs a different index
methodology and a smaller property sample.
• Figure 1 shows the behaviour of the
aggregated all-properties CPPI and TBI
indexes from 2004 and 2011
properties, is about $11 trillion, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic
Analysis. That compares with an estimated $17 trillion in the total value of residential structures in the
United States. Given the size of the market for commercial real estate (CRE), it is important to
understand CRE price movements. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Real Estate
publishes two widely used CRE price measures. The Moodys/REAL commercial property price index
(CPPI) is based on actual repeat sales of a large sample of CRE properties. The transaction-based index
(TBI) also uses sales prices, but
employs a different index methodology
and a smaller property sample. Figure
1 shows the behavior of the aggregated
all-properties CPPI and TBI indexes
from 2004 to 2011.
From the second quarter of 2007
through the fourth quarter of 2009,
both indexes dropped sharply, with the
CPPI falling 41% and the TBI 39%.
However, since the beginning of 2010,
these indexes have been painting very
different pictures. The CPPI indicates
that, since the end of 2009, CRE prices
have slid 7%. But the TBI indicates that
CRE prices have actually risen 19%
over that period. This unusual
deviation in these two indexes raises
the questions of whether CRE prices are currently recovering and how prices are likely to behave going
forward. To explore what may happen to these prices, we consider the capitalization rate, or cap rate for
short, as an alternative indicator of CRE valuations.

Situational Overview
Context
Current date and location: North America Jan 1 2010
Unemployment topped 10% at end of 2009
Central business district offices fell about 53% from 2007 levels – this
class is closely related to unemployment and hiring trends
Market may bottom out in 2010 – office vacancies touching 19% -
any recovery for offices dependent on jobs
Some areas weathered the downturn better than others – location is
important – focus on locations with educated workforces, strong
population growth, prevalence of desirable industries such as IT
Deal activity going forward to be focused on modern, well leased,
stable cash flow, well positioned assets – outside these markets,
recovery will lag for some time
Overall delinquency rate (number of loans with delinquency
payments/total number of loans held) has more than doubled since
Aug 2008
Loans on properties in secondary markets are delinquent at about 2x
the rate of those loans on primary market properties
Investor profile
SunRock Capital – opportunistic, global real estate investment
management company
Core (Core plus): least risky because often target stabilised, fully
leased, secure investments in core markets; well kept and require no
improvements by owner; usually warrants low leverage acquisitions
Value add: seek to increase cash flow over time by making
improvements to or reposition property; medium to high leverage
used to acquire
Opportunistic: require significant rehabilitation; usually fully vacant
upon acquisition or need to be developed from the ground up; offer
highest level of return if successful; bears most risk as property has
no in-place cash flow; usually high leverage acquisitions
HQ in NYC
Past strategies: high yield superior risk adjusted returns; significant
renovations of properties, foreclosures (loan to own scenarios –
acquisition of secured debt position to influence control and
ultimately acquire ownership of target); asset repositioning where
relevant
Most recent fund – SRC Capital VI
Closed in Q1 2009 with $1.5b in equity from pension funds,
endowments, sovereign wealth funds, HNW individuals
Target gross returns of 20% IRR and 2x equity multiple on investment

Situational Overview
The opportunity
Off market opportunity with another real estate private equity fund (HRC Capital)
Opportunity: Buy a portfolio of 3 loans on class A office buildings in 3 different North American cities
Classes reflect different risk and return – graded on location, physical characteristics, tenant levels, rental income etc.
Class A = highest quality building in the area and market; generally newer properties built within the last 15 years with top amenities,
high income earning tenants and low vacancy rates; well located in the market and typically professionally managed; typically
demand highest rent with little or no deferred maintenance issues
While HRC waits for our response, the loans will move between 60-90c on the dollar
Each loan is at the fulcrum point in the capital stack of the corresponding property
Capital fulcrum point – measures the annual % growth rate required from the underlying instrument for you to do equally well in
terms of capital appreciation from its associated warrant (security that entitles the holder to buy the underlying stock of the issuing
company at a fixed price called exercise price until the expiry date); the indifference point between buying a warrant rather than the
stock in a company
Warrants are derivative instruments, are dilutive (Receive new stock when exercised), do not pay dividends or come with voting
rights; traditional warrants are issued with bonds
ALL LOANS MUST BE PURCHASED IF THE DECISION IS BUY

Situational Overview
Portfolio & asset history
Loans originated from part of a larger office portfolio acquisition at the peak of the market in
2007
Sponsor expected to find easy refinancing for the Class A, iconic assets when loans matured
in mid-2012, given the properties’ (now aggressive) underwriting and assumed steady
property market increases
Properties are geographically dispersed
Portfolio relatively uniform in quality
The 3 buildings backing the loans are of a representative quality
Loans organised in complex structure
Debt was split and syndicated to multiple parties, including CMBS and mezzanine debt
holders
Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) – type of MBS secured by mortgages on
commercial properties. CMBSs are a group of commercial loans on properties such as
apartment complexes, factories, office buildings etc. that are bucketed into various tranches
(usually 3-4). Tranches are ranked from senior (highest quality) to lowest quality
Mezzanine debt - occurs when a hybrid debt issue is subordinated to another debt issue from
the same issuer. Mezzanine debt has embedded equity instruments attached, often known
as warrants, which increase the value of the subordinated debt and allow greater flexibility
when dealing with bondholders; enables firm to gain capital without offering any collateral, if
business defaults on the loan, the lender can convert its loan into an ownership stake using
options or warrants built into the deal; charges higher interest rate (usually 15-18%) due to
lack of due diligence, higher risk and is subordinate to higher forms of debt; The value of the
warrant is a floating number based on the future value of the company
Mezzanine debt v senior debt: Mezzanine debt is a hybrid form of capital that is part loan
and part investment. Senior debt is a loan from a bank. There are many differences between
the two. Banks lend off of asset values so most senior loans are collateralized with assets.
The bank loan is always secured and in the first position. Mezzanine debt is not collateralized
by assets and is usually in the second position with assets. Mezzanine loans are made against
the cash flow, not the assets of the business. Because of this feature, mezzanine debt
providers use different criteria than banks in qualifying borrowers. They look closely at their
EBITDA, their EBITDA margins, and the strength of their historical cash flow.
When market declined and office portfolio didn’t perform to underwritten projections,
delinquencies weighed on the 3 loans in the portfolio
Sponsor worked with lenders on several strategies to consolidate loans and get them out of
delinquency
After successfully bringing the loans up to date, holder of mezzanine pieces (HRC Capital)
decided to market the loans
HRC offered a potential off market deal to SunRock before bringing the opportunity to more
investors
HRC (the borrower) is an established private equity fund – specialises on owning and
operating office assets across US (bulk of portfolio in top quality assets in major urban
markets such as NYC and WDC)

US Property Market Information
Capitalisation Rates
• If rents are expected to increase 
property has become more valuable 
owner will expect a higher capital gain
lead to a lower cap rate
• During GFC, CRE prices dropped about
40% and the market for financing CRE
transactions was severely disrupted,
resulting in very high CMBS yields.
• Since summer 2010, yields on highly
rates CMBS have increased about
0.30%. However, cap rates have come
down 0.50%.
– Decline in cap rates despite the slight
increase in interest rates suggest that
investor expectations for CRE price
appreciation have strengthened
has become more valuable and the owner will expect a higher capital gain, which will lead to a lower cap
rate. A similar argument can be made for falling vacancies.
Thus, expected price appreciation is ultimately a reflection of the outlook for fundamentals such as rents
and vacancies. However, there could also be unidentified nonfundamental reasons for changes in
expected price appreciation. For example, investor sentiment may improve and the discount rate applied
to cash flows from a property may fall, thereby lowering the cap rate. Indeed, investor sentiment could
become so exuberant that a bubble could form, in which expected appreciation soared and the cap rate
dropped sharply.
This link between cap rates, interest
rates, and expected price appreciation
is not merely theoretical. Using a
slightly different representation of the
cap rate, Ghysels, Plazzi, and Valkanov
(2007) show that it predicts CRE
returns. In our data we can see these
linkages in Figure 2, which compares
CRE cap rates with the interest paid on
loans to finance CRE transactions. We
focus here on the office market, but
other CRE asset classes have behaved
similarly. Ideally, the interest measure
should be the rate on new CRE loans,
but those are not readily obtainable.
Instead, we use as a proxy for CRE
purchase loans the yield on AAA-rated five-year commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which
finance a large share of CRE transactions.

Terminology:
Net Absorption: Absorption is the amount of space
or units leased within a market or submarket over a
given period of time (usually one year).
Absorption considers both construction of new
space and demolition or removal from the market of
existing space. It represents the demand over a
specified period, contrasted with supply.
When supply is less than demand, vacancy
decreases and absorption is positive.
When supply is greater than demand, vacancy
increases and absorption is negative.

Chicago Property Market Information
Overall, the CBD remains a landlord’s market as
rent continues to increase across all building
classes and fewer concessions are granted. Limited
availability of quality high-rise space coupled with
continued corporate migration into the CBD has
solidified an advantageous environment for
landlords; however, tenants in a position to open
negotiations with landlords in 2017 will be looking at
a more tenant favourable market as approximately
2.3 million square feet are delivered in early 2017.
As this space is delivered to the market, landlords
will seek to avoid losing tenants to the new
developments, which will likely increase
concessions granted to tenants.
Investors see value in Chicago’s assets as they
offer a significant discount in pricing relative to
comparative properties on the coasts and believe
Chicago’s diverse economy and talented workforce
make for strong investments.

Economy
U.S. job growth trend remains firmly in place and nonfarm payroll
employment has now increased for 78 consecutive months. Employment
growth in the first quarter of 2017 was solid—averaging 178,000 jobs
per month. The unemployment rate in Los Angeles County reached its
lowest level in 10 years, declining to 4.8% in February. In the last year,
nonfarm employment grew by 70,800, or +1.6%. Education and health
services listed the largest employment gains, adding 31,300 jobs. The
only sector with a reduction in jobs was manufacturing, influenced
primarily by the increasing weakness in the apparel industry.
Unemployment is expected to decline slowly over the next two years as
the county reaches full employment in 2018.
Market Overview
First quarter leasing activity of 2.7 million square feet (MSF) fell short of
the 3.5 MSF quarterly average in 2016. Activity was largely concentrated
in LA West with over 1.0 MSF of new leasing and also making up more
than half of the top key transactions. Net absorption was positive for the
14th consecutive quarter, but due to major construction completions in
each of the past four quarters, overall vacancy remained relatively flat
year-over-year (YOY) at 14.4%. New high-end product catering to the
rapidly evolving tenant demands has helped push overall average asking
rental rates to $3.13 per square foot per month (PSF/MO), for an
increase of 10.2% from a year ago. This was the first time since 2008
that there has been such a vigorous YOY increase in average asking
rental rates. Most of this rent growth was attributed to submarkets
outside of the CBD. LA Metro (non-CBD) overall average asking rents
have increased by over +9% YOY, whereas in the CBD they’ve
increased by +4.6%. In a sign of increased demand within the CBD,
prominent tenants are moving into the market and some CBD landlords
are now asking as high as almost $5.00 PSF/MO for premium space.
Investment sales volume by SF outpaced first quarter 2016 by +14%,
reaching 4.1 MSF. With 1.4 MSF or 34% of the transactions occurring in
TriCities, specifically the highest volume in Glendale. There are 3.4 MSF
of office developments in the Greater LA construction pipeline, with

of office developments in the Greater LA construction pipeline, with
nearly 2.0 MSF delivering by the end of 2017.
Outlook
The office sector is evolving as the definition of creative space broadens
and new tech innovations shape up the modern day workplace. These
new requirements are impacting nearly every submarket in Greater LA.
Office demand is driven by the labor market, and as we approach full
employment leasing should remain robust and continued rent growth is
expected. In 2017, new office supply catering to these demands may
cause vacancy to decline at a more tepid pace. Los Angeles is at the top
of list as an investment target market nationally and sales volume is
anticipated to exceed 2016 levels and with higher per square foot prices.

Employment opportunities for residents of Los Angeles
County will depend on the health of the regional
economy.
Los Angeles County was hard hit during the recession,
and has experienced a slow and anemic recovery.
From an employment base of 4.2 million at the pre-
recession peak in December 2007 to a post-recession
trough of 3.9 million, the county saw a loss of more
than 330,000 jobs, and an unemployment rate
reaching a high of 12.6 percent (Exhibit E-10).
The City of Los Angeles fared somewhat worse, with
an unemployment rate consistently 10 percent above
the county average, standing currently at 8.7
percent—both are above the state rate of 7.5 percent,
which is also above the national rate, which stood at
6.2 percent in 2014.
Recovery of all jobs lost during the recession did not

San Diego Property Market Information
• The effect of the GFC caused construction of office buildings to lessen, due to the fact
that less offices were being demanded, and so the supply overweighed the demand.
• From 2006 – 2008, Net absorption trended downwards whilst vacancy rates increased.
In addition, the number of offices constructed began to lessen from the onset of the
GFC.
• From 2009 onwards, vacancy rates have decreased, whilst net absorption gradually
increased.

San Diego Property Market Information
• Construction activity has exceeded 1.5 million SF and by year-end, will be at its highest
level since 2008. With only 551,349 SF currently under construction, there is no concern
for over- building as was the case prior to the recession that began in 2007. Additionally,
demand since 2014 remains as strong – if not stronger – than most of the years prior to
the recession.
55 San Diego Property Market Information
• California and San Diego economy showing signs of improvement
• Housing market strengthening • Unemployment declining
• But employment conditions still difficult for many
• Considerations for LMI workers
• Fewer mid‐wage jobs, more low‐wage jobs
• Most low‐wage jobs don’t pay living wages
• Increasing importance of educational attainment

Borrower Capabilities and Motivation
1. Borrower/sponsor financial and managerial strength
2. Extent of distress on borrower’s other properties / businesses
3. Borrower’s exposure on guarantees (contingent, full repayment, completion, or
loss recovery)
4. Borrower’s tax position
5. Borrower’s reliance on management fee revenue (property, asset management, etc.)
6. The ownership entity’s control, capital structure, and approval processes
These factors are essential as they influence the borrower’s behaviour and negotiating
strategy. It can vary from obtaining a release from personal guarantees (DIL), maintaining
control of the property to protect or to participate in its potential upside recovery,
preserving management fee revenues, contributing and getting credit for ‘new’ money,
pursuing bankruptcy or lender liability actions, and / or managing tax consequences and
timing.

Legal Background
Mezzanine financing tends to be highly negotiated and customised for the particular situation.
Type of Instrument
MF typically consist of unsecured or second lien debt, or less frequently, preferred stock.
In practice, most mezzanine financing, particularly for larger financings, takes the form of subordinated, unsecured debt. Initial structuring discussions often focus on whether the debt should be in
the form of loans or debt securities, with the investors' view of the likely resale market (bank or bond) driving the result.
MF in the form of debt often includes equity participation, in the form of warrants, options and/or conversion features or co-investment rights associated with the primary mezzanine investment.
Covenants
Key negative covenants in mezzanine debt may include limitations on:
Incurrence of debt.
Restricted payments (including dividends, repurchases of equity and junior debt, and certain types of investments).
Liens.
Change of control transactions.
Asset sales.
Affiliate transactions.
Affirmative covenants may include those relating to:
Financial reporting.
Maintenance of insurance.
ERISA compliance.
Equity Participation
Mazanine investors regularly seek to enhance their returns by negotiating for equity participation alongside debt investments. This can take various forms:
Warrants or options to purchase a specified percentage of equity (1-5% usually)
Right to co-invest in the issuer alongside the controlling stockholder or a PE sponsor. Purchased equity would usually be bound by the terms of any stockholders’ agreement or other arrangement
among other stockholders.
Conversion feature that allows mezzanine investors to convert all or a portion of their principal investment into common equity of the issuer.
61
W
Legal Background
Inter-creditor Relationships
Senior debt holders have ability to suspend payments to mezzanine debtholders for up to 179 days in cases of default.
While precedents vary, in cases where mezzanine investors will receive only limited equity interests in the issuer, ordinarily they have limited leverage to negotiate for more than standard tag-along rights and
registration rights, as well as customary anti-dilution protections. In cases where mezzanine investors are also taking larger equity stakes, however, they may also negotiate for veto rights for specified corporate actions
including equity offerings, mergers, affiliate transactions or changes in senior management.
Mezzanine borrower typically only owns limited liability interests in a limited liability company
Addition of a mezzanine loan to the borrowing structure can bring the total loan-to-value ratio of a transaction to 90-95%.
Limitations on Rights and Remedies under Intercreditor Agreements
Mezz loans are typically contractually subordinated to the related senior mortgage loans pursuant to the terms of an Intercreditor agreement entered into between the senior mortgage lender and mezzanine lender.
These agreements severely limit and restrict the ability of mezz lenders to enforce their rights and remedies under the mezz loan documents.
Commercial Mortgage Securities Association (CMSA) have developed model forms that have become the industry norm on the content and coverage of these Intercreditor agreements.
The agreements limit the mezz lender’s ability to control Equity Interest and to establish indirect control of the underlying real estate and to make certain decisions and take certain actions without the senior mortgage
lender’s consent.
The Intercreditor agreement typically requires borrower to obtain a ‘no downgrade letter’, which provides confirmation from rating agencies that mezz lender’s enforcement actions will not cause a downgrade of the
rating of the related CMBS issurance which is secured.
The Intercreditor agreements also place strict limitations on the identity of the mezzanine lender since it may succeed to the indirect ownership of the underlying mortgage borrower and therefore end up being the
owner and operator of the land serving as collateral for the mortgage.
The only ability of the mezzanine lender to escape the confines of the senior morgtage is to buy out the senior lender. If there is a default under the senior mortgage loan, most Intercreditor agreements grant the mezz
lender to purchase the senior mortgage loan.
Even if the mezzanine lender is able to obtain control of the mortgage borrower, its rights remain very limited not only because of the restrictions in the Intercreditor agreement, but also because the mezzanine lender
(in its new capacity as mortgage borrower) is still subject to the senior mortgage covenants and restrictions.

Legal Background
Inter-creditor Relationships
The senior mortgage typically contains many limitations on the ability to sell the property, make major improvements to the property, change control of the property, or undertake other major decisions without the
senior mortgage lender’s consent.
The only option available is to refinance the property or to buy out the senior lender at par. Mezz lenders are further restricted since they rarely succeed to the benefits from certain third-party agreements such as
ground leases, subordination and non-disturbance agreements, etc.
The mezz lender is under time pressure and must realise upon its collateral and exercise its remedies prior to the senior mortgage lender completing a foreclosure on the underlying mortgage. Once the senior
mortgage lender completes its foreclosure, the underlying mortgage borrower will no longer own the income producing property and the mezz borrower will own equity in an entity with no assets.
In the case the underlying mortgage borrower sells the property, the mezz lender’s only action against the mezz borrower is for a breach of the contractual promise not to sell.
Compared to the senior mortgage lender’s right to foreclose its senior mortgage, the mezz lender’s right to foreclose on the Equity Interests of the mezzanine borrower is riskier and of limited value. Upon default, the
mezz lender’s remedies derive solely from its lien on personal property (i.e. the equity in the mezz borrower). This means the mezz lender has no rights to foreclose any other liens on the underlying real property, its
rights are limited solely to foreclosing junior liens on the equity in the mezzanine borrower and not the real property.
What this means is that even after a successful foreclosure of a mezzanine loan, the underlying mortgage property remains subject to the lien of the senior mortgage as well as any other liabilities, liens, leases and
other encumbrances of the underlying mortgage borrower and the underlying real property. Meaning the mezz owner will only indirectly own the underlying mortgaged property

Legal Background
Debt to Equity Swap
In the case of Nine Entertainment, they were able to avoid bankruptcy in 2012 after warring lenders agreed on a A$3.3bn debt-for-equity swap that hands control of Channel 9 to two investment groups. Apollo Global
Management and Oaktree Capital, which owned about 40% of Nine’s 2.3bn senior debt, offered Goldman Sachs (second-tier lenders) a bigger equity stake in a recapitalised and debt-free Nine (7.5%). In return,
Goldman Sachs dropped its demand for warrants in the restructured company. This was subsequent to Goldman Sachs’ original proposal of swapping the mezz debt for 30% equity in Nine.
Debt to equity swaps (restructure) from the junior (mezzanine) lender is subject to the senior lender’s approval. However, at the same time, if valuation provides that ‘the value of the company breaks into the
mezzanine debt’, aka, the junior lender has an economic interest in the business, the restructure requires consent of the junior lender.
This effectively means the mezzanine debt holder also has a leverage against the senior debt owner by barring their ability to restructure their capital structure.
Debt to Equity Swap was done by Goldman Sachs and Park Square to take control of Northgate, from owner KKR. This was backed with a 320m leveraged loan financing.
Mezzanine Lender’s Leverage against Senior Debt Holder
It is arguable that if the senior lenders are able to convince a court that the junior lenders’ debt is out of the money.
High Court Justice of England and Wales’ judgment of Bluebrook Ltd in 2009
It was determined that if they had an economic interest, they must be consulted in a Scheme of Arrangements and they must give consent.

Outlining population movement in Chicago – Phone Tracking
Analysis Overview
Using geographic data from twitter, we are able
to map out where people congregate in urban
centers.
• This provides important socio-economic
information - as iPhone users earn, on
average, 40% more than Android users
• This data shows that West Loop (as outlined
by the white box) is subject to more foot
traffic by higher net wealth individuals than
inland Chicago
• We can infer that this means that the
process of gentrification is nearly complete,
establishing long-term demand for real
estate and commerce

Renovation #1: Underground carparking
(WIP Leadership Board Member Michelle
Wendler, AIA, is Principal of Watry Design.
She has been creating parking solutions for
the firm’s clients for more than 24 years.
Wendler, a licensed architect in 12 states, is
responsible for the design)
Assumptions:
(Assumptions made from Michelle Wendler,
the lead parking designer and structure for
Watry Design and a licensed architect in 12
states, is responsible for the design of more
than 150 parking projects)
The property’s on-site parking of 300 spaces
is on land and not part of the building
Soil condition of property is suitable and
allows for underground car park construction
$5000 annum revenue/ stall
135 sf width and length
300-340 sf/ stall
$45/sf
Plan:
Additional 400 spaces as underground
parking, this will bring additional
$2M/annum
Construct 4 underground car parking levels
to add 400 parking spots
Cost of construction:
Average size of car park: 320 sf
No. car parks: 400
Price per sf: $450-$550
320sf*400=12,800*45= $5.7M
NOI:
Car park rent flat rate: $10
No. days per year: 265
No. car parks: 400
$10*365*400= $1.5M
Things to consider:
Geography:
LA
Average costs of labor and resources needs
to be noted. As well as condition of soil,
seismic regions and availability of materials.

Bryant Plaza Research
• Number of parking levels:
• In general, a larger-footprint parking structure
that is shorter will cost less per parking space
than a taller structure with a smaller footprint.
The cost per square foot of the first level that
is on the ground is less than levels that are
elevated above the ground. A lower-height,
larger-footprint structure will have a higher
proportion of the cost in the first level. The
taller a structure is the heavier it is, and this
affects the foundation cost. A taller structure
generally has a less efficient parking layout,
which translates into more square feet for
each parking space.
•
• Cost of underground parking:
• If a parking structure is one level underground,
the cost per square foot can increase by
approximately 15%. If the structure is more
than one level below the ground, the cost
would be approximately 45% higher than the
original cost per square foot as cost increases
due to impacts of having to dig deeper.
• Cost of structural system:
• 60% to 70% of the cost of parking is in the
structural system. Therefore, the selection of
the framing system will have a significant
effect on the cost of each parking space. There
are two general types of framing layouts and
there are different types of structural systems.
The two types of framing layouts are short-
span and long-span. Short span is where you
have a column approximately every three
parking spaces (27x30 feet square) to support
the floor slab. Long-span is where you have
columns spaced 60 feet apart, with beams
spanning over the stalls and the drive aisle.
Generally, short-span systems cost less per
square foot, but the efficiency is not as good.
Long-span systems cost more per square foot,
but you are getting more stalls in the same
square footage. The structural system of a
parking structure can be either Cast-in-Place
Concrete, Precast Concrete or Structural Steel.
Which system is more cost effective depends
on the location of the project and the
preferred methods of construction in the
region. This is a case-by-case analysis. The
selection of a system that is not common in
the area will generally cause the structure to
cost more.
•
• The foundation system of the car park has a
huge impact on cost of structured car parks.
• Structures founded in poor soils’ conditions
that require more expensive, deeper
foundation systems will cost more. The
difference between a shallow and deep
foundation system can increase the price
approximately 10% overall – taking the cost
from, say, $50 to $55 per square foot.
74
W
Bryant Plaza Research
Total car parking spaces
The overall size of a project has an
effect on the cost per parking
space. A smaller project will cost
more per space than a larger
project. A 200-stall parking
structure on a small site may cost
about 30% more per square foot
than a 1,000-stall structure on a
“reasonably” sized lot.
Efficiency
This is the amount of square
footage it takes for every parking
stall overall. The cost of a parking
space is the cost per square foot
times the square foot per parking
stall. So, the more square feet you
have to build per stall will increase
the cost per stall.
Market conditions
As we have seen over the last few
years, the cost of parking can be
affected by market conditions.
Costs can go both down and up.
The swing can be 10% or more. A
normal bid market will generate
four to six bids from qualified
contractors. An aggressive bid
market might see 10 or even more
bids, some not necessarily from
qualified bidders. This will cause
the price to decrease but can
create concern if the bidders are
not qualified. An impacted bid
market might see one to three
bidders and price increase due to
lack of competition.

Macroeconomic Risks
• Unemployment rate
• Risk: difficulty in finding suitable tenants
• Low unemployment rates may affect our occupancy rate and ability to find tenants when
leases rollover
• We should find a well-diversified mix of tenants for our office buildings when leases end.
Selected tenants should be from growing employment rate sectors such as health &
education industry and the financial services industry
• However, unemployment rates forecasted to peak in 2010 and then fall steadily
• Occupancy and rents forecasted to begin sustainable growth in 2011
• 8.7M jobs were lost during the recession but 7.4M jobs were gained by 2014 during
recovery. Six subsectors have accounted for 83.4% of recovered jobs. Professional and
business services sector accounting for the most percentage of recovered jobs then Health
care and Leisure & Hospitality inudstries
•
• Chicago:
• Metro Chicago economic results have proven unsteady. However, CH has recorded year-to-
date growth of more than 31,000 jobs compared to losses of 92,000 from the same period
of 2009. Unemployment rate forecasted to drop to 8.1% in coming 3 years (2013)
• Economy is expected to go into accelerated expansion especially office jobs sector
• Projected positive absorption duelled by drop in rate of sublease additions and increased
occupancy rates
• Office buildings leased to young social media tech companies
• Chicago’s CBD leasing market experienced most activity from small to mid-sized users
• Many landlords improved and upgraded their properties to stay competitive by investing in
lobby renovations or adding outdoor trances
• Chicago CBD has a trend of plug-and-play and on-demand suite availabilities
• River North tower a $1.3 m.s.f office building sold for $480 p.s.f (record setting p.s.f pricing
in 2010)

Macroeconomic Risks
LA:
Moderate occupancy rate gains
Tenants dominated by law firms and financial services tenants
Trend of owners increasingly target a more diverse tenant base, including creative and
entertainment companies
Westside an established home base for media, technology and mobile industries- these industries
are expected to see continued growth and will drive new requirements
Increase in competition among tenants for “creative” space has led landlords to increase rental
rates- interplay between entertainment and high-tech is significant trend
Growing demand for office buildings and sustained growth from existing tech tenants
Leisure and hospitality experienced a steep decline due to the recession, but added more than
15,700 LA-based jobs since Jan 2010, driven by an increase in discretionary and business spending
San Diego:
Leisure and hospitality sector posted the greatest employment recovery- adding 7,000 in 2013
Office-using industries such as professional and business services was one of 7 sectors that saw
employment gains
Also measured growth in construction
Downtown submarket heightened activity- growing demand of tenants in tech sector and
projected growth in professional services industries

Delinquent loans rising- through 2009 9% of CRE loans in bank portfolios were delinquent, which is more than double of
2008
There has been a significant increase in non-performing commercial real estate in the US since 2008. This period also saw
heightened levels of maturities and record levels of outstanding commercial mortgage debt.
The total value of distressed commercial real estate was $166.8 billion in 2010, including properties in distress, foreclosure,
and lender REO, according to data from Real Capital Analytics
Starting June 2010- volume and value of distressed commercial real estate has dropped
Delinquency rates has risen steadily over the past two years from 5% in the 4Th quarter of 2007 to 19.0% in first quarter of
2010. Non-accrual rate increased rom 2.9% to 14.6%
The commercial mortgage sector’s total delinquency rate grew to 5.5% in the 1st Q of 2010, compared to 5.1% in 4th Q of
2009 and 3.6% one year ago
Non-accrual rate is the main factor contributing to coverall growth, accounting for 69% of the total delinquency

of the borrowing entity.
A mezz lender in foreclosure can significantly change the loan
resolution outcome if the mezz lender has a position that is
partly in the money or has the ability to bring new money or
expertise to the situation.
Inter-creditor agreement assumption- E.g. provide that all cash
flow be paid on occurrence of a default, to senior note holders
interest and principal until the senior debt is fully repaid before
any interest can be paid to subordinate holders
Upon a borrower’s default, mezz lender’s only commercial
alternative is to cure the default by refinancing the secured

  • 3. 33 After conducting appropriate negotiations and due diligence, we should move to purchase the portfolio at a 75% discount to it’s face value. We should leverage our lein against the borrowers equity and our capacity to limit investor losses to convert out mezzanine loans to a proprietary interest in the properties We should renovate all three properties to maintain the Class A classification of the properties. We are pursuing a minimum multiple on equity of 2.5x. Our model indicates that the portfolio will return a levered IRR of 22.28% and a levered equity multiple of 4.11x This exceeds the needs of Sun Rock Capital’s fund. Expected Returns Strategic Overview SWAPACQUIRE RENNOVATE 3 We believe that we will be in the end of a strong bull real estate market in 2018. Thus, we should sell them SELL The current downturn in global real estate market conditions creates the opportunity for us to purchase quality Real Estate assets at a substantial objective discount.

A comparison of satellite imagery shows that the developmental boundaries of Chicago have expanded 200-300% over the past 25 years. This city growth is a strong driver of demand for centralised real estate assets.

According to theory, this rent/price ratio is largely a function of interest rates and expected increases in the property’s price. Consider someone who wants to use a real estate property for one year. This person can get the space in two ways. He or she could rent the property for the year, which would cost a year of rent. The rent would appear as part of the property owner’s net operating income. Alternatively, the person who wants to use the property could borrow money, buy it, and hold it for a year. The cost of this ownership option, referred to as the user cost, consists of interest payments on the purchase loan plus the expected change in the property’s price over the holding period. In a well-functioning market with zero transactions costs, the price of these two alternatives should be the same. If they were not—if rents were higher than the user cost, for example— then all market participants would want to buy, bidding up prices until the rental option cost the same. The important point here is the direct link between the net operating income of the rental option and prices, ownership costs, and expected capital gains of the ownership option. When purchasing CRE, market participants often link cap rates to expected future rental rates and vacancies. Expected increases in rent or lower vacancies tend to lower the cap rate. If rents are expected to increase, then the property has become more valuable and the owner will expect a higher capital gain, which will lead to a lower cap rate. A similar argument can be made for falling vacancies. Thus, expected price appreciation is ultimately a reflection of the outlook for fundamentals such as rents and vacancies. However, there could also be unidentified nonfundamental reasons for changes in expected price appreciation. For example, investor sentiment may improve and the discount rate applied to cash flows from a property may fall, thereby lowering the cap rate. Indeed, investor sentiment could become so exuberant that a bubble could form, in which expected appreciation soared and the cap rate dropped sharply. This link between cap rates, interest rates, and expected price appreciation is not merely theoretical. Using a slightly different representation of the cap rate, Ghysels, Plazzi, and Valkanov (2007) show that it predicts CRE returns. In our data we can see these linkages in Figure 2, which compares CRE cap rates with the interest paid on loans to finance CRE transactions. We focus here on the office market, but other CRE asset classes have behaved similarly. Ideally, the interest measure should be the rate on new CRE loans, but those are not readily obtainable. Instead, we use as a proxy for CRE purchase loans the yield on AAA-rated five-year commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which finance a large share of CRE transactions.

That compares with an estimated $17 trillion in the total value of residential structures in the United States. Given the size of the market for commercial real estate (CRE), it is important to understand CRE price movements. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Real Estate publishes two widely used CRE price measures. The Moodys/REAL commercial property price index (CPPI) is based on actual repeat sales of a large sample of CRE properties. The transaction-based index (TBI) also uses sales prices, but employs a different index methodology and a smaller property sample. Figure 1 shows the behavior of the aggregated all-properties CPPI and TBI indexes from 2004 to 2011. From the second quarter of 2007 through the fourth quarter of 2009, both indexes dropped sharply, with the CPPI falling 41% and the TBI 39%. However, since the beginning of 2010, these indexes have been painting very different pictures. The CPPI indicates that, since the end of 2009, CRE prices have slid 7%. But the TBI indicates that CRE prices have actually risen 19% over that period. This unusual deviation in these two indexes raises the questions of whether CRE prices are currently recovering and how prices are likely to behave going forward. To explore what may happen to these prices, we consider the capitalization rate, or cap rate for short, as an alternative indicator of CRE valuations.

CMBSs are a group of commercial loans on properties such as apartment complexes, factories, office buildings etc. that are bucketed into various tranches (usually 3-4). Tranches are ranked from senior (highest quality) to lowest quality Mezzanine debt - occurs when a hybrid debt issue is subordinated to another debt issue from the same issuer. Mezzanine debt has embedded equity instruments attached, often known as warrants, which increase the value of the subordinated debt and allow greater flexibility when dealing with bondholders; enables firm to gain capital without offering any collateral, if business defaults on the loan, the lender can convert its loan into an ownership stake using options or warrants built into the deal; charges higher interest rate (usually 15-18%) due to lack of due diligence, higher risk and is subordinate to higher forms of debt; The value of the warrant is a floating number based on the future value of the company Mezzanine debt v senior debt: Mezzanine debt is a hybrid form of capital that is part loan and part investment. Senior debt is a loan from a bank. There are many differences between the two. Banks lend off of asset values so most senior loans are collateralized with assets. The bank loan is always secured and in the first position. Mezzanine debt is not collateralized by assets and is usually in the second position with assets. Mezzanine loans are made against the cash flow, not the assets of the business. Because of this feature, mezzanine debt providers use different criteria than banks in qualifying borrowers. They look closely at their EBITDA, their EBITDA margins, and the strength of their historical cash flow. When market declined and office portfolio didn’t perform to underwritten projections, delinquencies weighed on the 3 loans in the portfolio Sponsor worked with lenders on several strategies to consolidate loans and get them out of delinquency After successfully bringing the loans up to date, holder of mezzanine pieces (HRC Capital) decided to market the loans HRC offered a potential off market deal to SunRock before bringing the opportunity to more investors HRC (the borrower) is an established private equity fund – specialises on owning and operating office assets across US (bulk of portfolio in top quality assets in major urban markets such as NYC and WDC)

For example, investor sentiment may improve and the discount rate applied to cash flows from a property may fall, thereby lowering the cap rate. Indeed, investor sentiment could become so exuberant that a bubble could form, in which expected appreciation soared and the cap rate dropped sharply. This link between cap rates, interest rates, and expected price appreciation is not merely theoretical. Using a slightly different representation of the cap rate, Ghysels, Plazzi, and Valkanov (2007) show that it predicts CRE returns. In our data we can see these linkages in Figure 2, which compares CRE cap rates with the interest paid on loans to finance CRE transactions. We focus here on the office market, but other CRE asset classes have behaved similarly. Ideally, the interest measure should be the rate on new CRE loans, but those are not readily obtainable. Instead, we use as a proxy for CRE purchase loans the yield on AAA-rated five-year commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which finance a large share of CRE transactions.

  • 43. 43 W US Property Market Information Terminology: Net Absorption: Absorption is the amount of space or units leased within a market or submarket over a given period of time (usually one year). Absorption considers both construction of new space and demolition or removal from the market of existing space. It represents the demand over a specified period, contrasted with supply. When supply is less than demand, vacancy decreases and absorption is positive. When supply is greater than demand, vacancy increases and absorption is negative.
  • 44. 44 W Chicago Property Market Information Overall, the CBD remains a landlord’s market as rent continues to increase across all building classes and fewer concessions are granted. Limited availability of quality high-rise space coupled with continued corporate migration into the CBD has solidified an advantageous environment for landlords; however, tenants in a position to open negotiations with landlords in 2017 will be looking at a more tenant favourable market as approximately 2.3 million square feet are delivered in early 2017. As this space is delivered to the market, landlords will seek to avoid losing tenants to the new developments, which will likely increase concessions granted to tenants. Investors see value in Chicago’s assets as they offer a significant discount in pricing relative to comparative properties on the coasts and believe Chicago’s diverse economy and talented workforce make for strong investments.

Employment growth in the first quarter of 2017 was solid—averaging 178,000 jobs per month. The unemployment rate in Los Angeles County reached its lowest level in 10 years, declining to 4.8% in February. In the last year, nonfarm employment grew by 70,800, or +1.6%. Education and health services listed the largest employment gains, adding 31,300 jobs. The only sector with a reduction in jobs was manufacturing, influenced primarily by the increasing weakness in the apparel industry. Unemployment is expected to decline slowly over the next two years as the county reaches full employment in 2018. Market Overview First quarter leasing activity of 2.7 million square feet (MSF) fell short of the 3.5 MSF quarterly average in 2016. Activity was largely concentrated in LA West with over 1.0 MSF of new leasing and also making up more than half of the top key transactions. Net absorption was positive for the 14th consecutive quarter, but due to major construction completions in each of the past four quarters, overall vacancy remained relatively flat year-over-year (YOY) at 14.4%. New high-end product catering to the rapidly evolving tenant demands has helped push overall average asking rental rates to $3.13 per square foot per month (PSF/MO), for an increase of 10.2% from a year ago. This was the first time since 2008 that there has been such a vigorous YOY increase in average asking rental rates. Most of this rent growth was attributed to submarkets outside of the CBD. LA Metro (non-CBD) overall average asking rents have increased by over +9% YOY, whereas in the CBD they’ve increased by +4.6%. In a sign of increased demand within the CBD, prominent tenants are moving into the market and some CBD landlords are now asking as high as almost $5.00 PSF/MO for premium space. Investment sales volume by SF outpaced first quarter 2016 by +14%, reaching 4.1 MSF. With 1.4 MSF or 34% of the transactions occurring in TriCities, specifically the highest volume in Glendale.

There are 3.4 MSF of office developments in the Greater LA construction pipeline, with nearly 2.0 MSF delivering by the end of 2017. Outlook The office sector is evolving as the definition of creative space broadens and new tech innovations shape up the modern day workplace. These new requirements are impacting nearly every submarket in Greater LA. Office demand is driven by the labor market, and as we approach full employment leasing should remain robust and continued rent growth is expected. In 2017, new office supply catering to these demands may cause vacancy to decline at a more tepid pace. Los Angeles is at the top of list as an investment target market nationally and sales volume is anticipated to exceed 2016 levels and with higher per square foot prices. $2.25 $2.50 $2.75 $3.00 -500 0 500 1,000 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Net Absorption, KSF Asking Rent, $ PSF 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 5-Year Historical Average = 16.6% MARKETBEAT Greater Los Angeles Office Q1 2017 MARKET TOTAL BUILDINGS INVENTORY (SF) DIRECT VACANCY RATE OVERALL VACANCY RATE YTD LEASING ACTIVITY (SF) YTD OVERALL NET ABSORPTION (SF) UNDER CONSTRUCTION (SF) OVERALL AVERAGE ASKING RENT (ALL CLASSES)* DIRECT AVERAGE ASKING RENT (CLASS A)* Los Angeles CBD 54 27,218,777 19.1% 19.9% 253,089 17,749 356,141 $3.42 $3.49 Los Angeles Central (Non-CBD) 140 20,315,970 14.3% 14.3% 128,374 378,046 334,201 $2.63 $2.75 Los Angeles West 416 52,797,801 11.3% 12.3% 1,011,384 (465,863) 1,171,175 $4.51 $4.64 Los Angeles North 407 31,332,528 10.6% 11.0% 506,752 36,897 355,000 $2.40 $2.50 Los Angeles South 249 30,182,254 15.5% 16.1% 447,561 349,126 159,087 $2.35 $2.68 TriCities 195 24,265,956 12.9% 13.8% 196,036 107,111 0 $2.96 $2.96 San Gabriel Valley 170 12,596,238 16.2% 16.5% 161,009 (190,860) 0 $2.15 $2.33 GREATER LOS ANGELES TOTALS 1,631 198,709,524 13.7% 14.4% 2,704,205 232,206 2,375,604 $3.13 $3.47 *Rental rates reflect gross asking $PSF/MO ngeles tely as overall vacancy rates is point (BP) decrease YOY. ince this time last year, R).

  • 53. 53 W San Diego Property Market Information • The effect of the GFC caused construction of office buildings to lessen, due to the fact that less offices were being demanded, and so the supply overweighed the demand. • From 2006 – 2008, Net absorption trended downwards whilst vacancy rates increased. In addition, the number of offices constructed began to lessen from the onset of the GFC. • From 2009 onwards, vacancy rates have decreased, whilst net absorption gradually increased.
  • 54. 54 W San Diego Property Market Information • Construction activity has exceeded 1.5 million SF and by year-end, will be at its highest level since 2008. With only 551,349 SF currently under construction, there is no concern for over- building as was the case prior to the recession that began in 2007. Additionally, demand since 2014 remains as strong – if not stronger – than most of the years prior to the recession.

  • 60. 60 W Legal Background Mezzanine financing tends to be highly negotiated and customised for the particular situation. Type of Instrument MF typically consist of unsecured or second lien debt, or less frequently, preferred stock. In practice, most mezzanine financing, particularly for larger financings, takes the form of subordinated, unsecured debt. Initial structuring discussions often focus on whether the debt should be in the form of loans or debt securities, with the investors' view of the likely resale market (bank or bond) driving the result. MF in the form of debt often includes equity participation, in the form of warrants, options and/or conversion features or co-investment rights associated with the primary mezzanine investment. Covenants Key negative covenants in mezzanine debt may include limitations on: Incurrence of debt. Restricted payments (including dividends, repurchases of equity and junior debt, and certain types of investments). Liens. Change of control transactions. Asset sales. Affiliate transactions. Affirmative covenants may include those relating to: Financial reporting. Maintenance of insurance. ERISA compliance. Equity Participation Mazanine investors regularly seek to enhance their returns by negotiating for equity participation alongside debt investments. This can take various forms: Warrants or options to purchase a specified percentage of equity (1-5% usually) Right to co-invest in the issuer alongside the controlling stockholder or a PE sponsor. Purchased equity would usually be bound by the terms of any stockholders’ agreement or other arrangement among other stockholders. Conversion feature that allows mezzanine investors to convert all or a portion of their principal investment into common equity of the issuer.
  • 61. 61 W Legal Background Inter-creditor Relationships Senior debt holders have ability to suspend payments to mezzanine debtholders for up to 179 days in cases of default. While precedents vary, in cases where mezzanine investors will receive only limited equity interests in the issuer, ordinarily they have limited leverage to negotiate for more than standard tag-along rights and registration rights, as well as customary anti-dilution protections. In cases where mezzanine investors are also taking larger equity stakes, however, they may also negotiate for veto rights for specified corporate actions including equity offerings, mergers, affiliate transactions or changes in senior management. Mezzanine borrower typically only owns limited liability interests in a limited liability company Addition of a mezzanine loan to the borrowing structure can bring the total loan-to-value ratio of a transaction to 90-95%. Limitations on Rights and Remedies under Intercreditor Agreements Mezz loans are typically contractually subordinated to the related senior mortgage loans pursuant to the terms of an Intercreditor agreement entered into between the senior mortgage lender and mezzanine lender. These agreements severely limit and restrict the ability of mezz lenders to enforce their rights and remedies under the mezz loan documents. Commercial Mortgage Securities Association (CMSA) have developed model forms that have become the industry norm on the content and coverage of these Intercreditor agreements. The agreements limit the mezz lender’s ability to control Equity Interest and to establish indirect control of the underlying real estate and to make certain decisions and take certain actions without the senior mortgage lender’s consent. The Intercreditor agreement typically requires borrower to obtain a ‘no downgrade letter’, which provides confirmation from rating agencies that mezz lender’s enforcement actions will not cause a downgrade of the rating of the related CMBS issurance which is secured. The Intercreditor agreements also place strict limitations on the identity of the mezzanine lender since it may succeed to the indirect ownership of the underlying mortgage borrower and therefore end up being the owner and operator of the land serving as collateral for the mortgage. The only ability of the mezzanine lender to escape the confines of the senior morgtage is to buy out the senior lender. If there is a default under the senior mortgage loan, most Intercreditor agreements grant the mezz lender to purchase the senior mortgage loan. Even if the mezzanine lender is able to obtain control of the mortgage borrower, its rights remain very limited not only because of the restrictions in the Intercreditor agreement, but also because the mezzanine lender (in its new capacity as mortgage borrower) is still subject to the senior mortgage covenants and restrictions.
  • 62. 62 W Legal Background Inter-creditor Relationships The senior mortgage typically contains many limitations on the ability to sell the property, make major improvements to the property, change control of the property, or undertake other major decisions without the senior mortgage lender’s consent. The only option available is to refinance the property or to buy out the senior lender at par. Mezz lenders are further restricted since they rarely succeed to the benefits from certain third-party agreements such as ground leases, subordination and non-disturbance agreements, etc. The mezz lender is under time pressure and must realise upon its collateral and exercise its remedies prior to the senior mortgage lender completing a foreclosure on the underlying mortgage. Once the senior mortgage lender completes its foreclosure, the underlying mortgage borrower will no longer own the income producing property and the mezz borrower will own equity in an entity with no assets. In the case the underlying mortgage borrower sells the property, the mezz lender’s only action against the mezz borrower is for a breach of the contractual promise not to sell. Compared to the senior mortgage lender’s right to foreclose its senior mortgage, the mezz lender’s right to foreclose on the Equity Interests of the mezzanine borrower is riskier and of limited value. Upon default, the mezz lender’s remedies derive solely from its lien on personal property (i.e. the equity in the mezz borrower). This means the mezz lender has no rights to foreclose any other liens on the underlying real property, its rights are limited solely to foreclosing junior liens on the equity in the mezzanine borrower and not the real property. What this means is that even after a successful foreclosure of a mezzanine loan, the underlying mortgage property remains subject to the lien of the senior mortgage as well as any other liabilities, liens, leases and other encumbrances of the underlying mortgage borrower and the underlying real property. Meaning the mezz owner will only indirectly own the underlying mortgaged property
  • 63. 63 W Legal Background Debt to Equity Swap In the case of Nine Entertainment, they were able to avoid bankruptcy in 2012 after warring lenders agreed on a A$3.3bn debt-for-equity swap that hands control of Channel 9 to two investment groups. Apollo Global Management and Oaktree Capital, which owned about 40% of Nine’s 2.3bn senior debt, offered Goldman Sachs (second-tier lenders) a bigger equity stake in a recapitalised and debt-free Nine (7.5%). In return, Goldman Sachs dropped its demand for warrants in the restructured company. This was subsequent to Goldman Sachs’ original proposal of swapping the mezz debt for 30% equity in Nine. Debt to equity swaps (restructure) from the junior (mezzanine) lender is subject to the senior lender’s approval. However, at the same time, if valuation provides that ‘the value of the company breaks into the mezzanine debt’, aka, the junior lender has an economic interest in the business, the restructure requires consent of the junior lender. This effectively means the mezzanine debt holder also has a leverage against the senior debt owner by barring their ability to restructure their capital structure. Debt to Equity Swap was done by Goldman Sachs and Park Square to take control of Northgate, from owner KKR. This was backed with a 320m leveraged loan financing. Mezzanine Lender’s Leverage against Senior Debt Holder It is arguable that if the senior lenders are able to convince a court that the junior lenders’ debt is out of the money. High Court Justice of England and Wales’ judgment of Bluebrook Ltd in 2009 It was determined that if they had an economic interest, they must be consulted in a Scheme of Arrangements and they must give consent.

  • 73. 73 W Bryant Plaza Research • Number of parking levels: • In general, a larger-footprint parking structure that is shorter will cost less per parking space than a taller structure with a smaller footprint. The cost per square foot of the first level that is on the ground is less than levels that are elevated above the ground. A lower-height, larger-footprint structure will have a higher proportion of the cost in the first level. The taller a structure is the heavier it is, and this affects the foundation cost. A taller structure generally has a less efficient parking layout, which translates into more square feet for each parking space. • • Cost of underground parking: • If a parking structure is one level underground, the cost per square foot can increase by approximately 15%. If the structure is more than one level below the ground, the cost would be approximately 45% higher than the original cost per square foot as cost increases due to impacts of having to dig deeper. • Cost of structural system: • 60% to 70% of the cost of parking is in the structural system. Therefore, the selection of the framing system will have a significant effect on the cost of each parking space. There are two general types of framing layouts and there are different types of structural systems. The two types of framing layouts are short- span and long-span. Short span is where you have a column approximately every three parking spaces (27x30 feet square) to support the floor slab. Long-span is where you have columns spaced 60 feet apart, with beams spanning over the stalls and the drive aisle. Generally, short-span systems cost less per square foot, but the efficiency is not as good. Long-span systems cost more per square foot, but you are getting more stalls in the same square footage. The structural system of a parking structure can be either Cast-in-Place Concrete, Precast Concrete or Structural Steel. Which system is more cost effective depends on the location of the project and the preferred methods of construction in the region. This is a case-by-case analysis. The selection of a system that is not common in the area will generally cause the structure to cost more. • • The foundation system of the car park has a huge impact on cost of structured car parks. • Structures founded in poor soils’ conditions that require more expensive, deeper foundation systems will cost more. The difference between a shallow and deep foundation system can increase the price approximately 10% overall – taking the cost from, say, $50 to $55 per square foot.
  • 74. 74 W Bryant Plaza Research Total car parking spaces The overall size of a project has an effect on the cost per parking space. A smaller project will cost more per space than a larger project. A 200-stall parking structure on a small site may cost about 30% more per square foot than a 1,000-stall structure on a “reasonably” sized lot. Efficiency This is the amount of square footage it takes for every parking stall overall. The cost of a parking space is the cost per square foot times the square foot per parking stall. So, the more square feet you have to build per stall will increase the cost per stall. Market conditions As we have seen over the last few years, the cost of parking can be affected by market conditions. Costs can go both down and up. The swing can be 10% or more. A normal bid market will generate four to six bids from qualified contractors. An aggressive bid market might see 10 or even more bids, some not necessarily from qualified bidders. This will cause the price to decrease but can create concern if the bidders are not qualified. An impacted bid market might see one to three bidders and price increase due to lack of competition.
